Chapter 16: Uninvited Guests

Ask for recommendations and collections; Collections, recommendations; I recommend it and collect it!! It is said that this one is very spiritual

first drank, then went out to report, and then explored the cave, causing Zhao Yili to really not have a good rest in the past few days, after a simple dinner, Zhao Yili ran back to the room to make up for sleep, I wanted to sleep for a while and get up and play with my sister Zhao Xiaoke for a while, but I didn't expect to sleep until dawn, and Xiaoke saw that his brother was sleeping sweetly, so he couldn't help but didn't wake him up.

When I woke up, there was breakfast and a note on the table, and it turned out that my mother had taken my sister to the market. The morning air in the countryside is good, Zhao Yili ran around the village twice, very greedy to breathe fresh air, will be 12 years old soon, the current body is still too weak, it seems that it is time to make a plan to exercise, otherwise how to inherit the fine revolutionary tradition?

There is very little farming work at home, and although the current farming method does not have the large-scale farm mechanism that developed later, the neighbors of the adjacent land generally adopt the method of three or even five cooperative methods for spring plowing and autumn harvesting.

There are several benefits to this cooperative approach to farming:

l First: arable land needs livestock, need agricultural tools, after the reform and opening up, some developed farmland areas gradually adopted the way of tractor farming, but there are still many economically underdeveloped areas, is the use of ox plough cane or Ma Ma plough stick plough plough the original way of operation, and the autumn harvest is the same. With this kind of cooperation in small support groups, there is no need for families to take care of their plough sticks and tending to their plough cattle and horses.

l Second: In today's rural areas, family planning is gradually expanded, with a maximum of two children per family, and the labor force of a single family is gradually becoming insufficient, not to mention that there are many students studying in other places, so the formation of mutual aid groups is also a manpower consideration

l Third: In the countryside at this time, the grain threshing work after the autumn harvest is also called the field (changer sound), which is also in the form of mutual aid groups, so the neighbors who are close to each other are all together from spring ploughing to autumn harvest and then grain.

For rural children like Zhao Yili and his sister Xiaoke, the happiest time is winter, because there are three things that are very happy in winter.

1. First thing: When harvesting grain in the autumn, no matter who goes to the house to collect grain, there will be a meal to entertain, even if it is a common meal in the eyes of Zhao Yili now, in the eyes of children in the 80s, it is an excellent opportunity to improve food, Zhao Yili clearly remembers: In the last life, when he was young, he once cried because he did not eat pork vermicelli that had been grained.

2. The second thing: after the snow in winter, the ground is covered with a layer of snow, for the birds in the north, there will be a period of difficulty in foraging, and Zhao Yili will take his sister, on the snow, sweep an oval, expose the ground, put a large round sieve on the ground just exposed, support a short stick on one side, and then sprinkle some miscellaneous grains on the open space under the sieve, the bottom end of the short stick is tied with a thin hemp rope, and the two people hide not far away and wait for the birds to peck at the miscellaneous grains. When the birds gave up their vigilance and concentrated under the sieve to eat the grain, they suddenly pulled the short sticks, and the birds became the delicacies in the mouths of the little brothers.

3. The third thing, winter is coming, the Spring Festival is coming, the New Year is the most desired thing for children in both the north and south, you can wear new clothes, set off firecrackers, after eating, you can carry a lantern made of canned bottles, run all over the mountains, and what is more expected is that at the evening of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the elders of the family will send red envelopes according to a child, you can eat all kinds of snacks, and change, this kind of thing can only be encountered during the New Year, and in the hearts of children, this is the happiest.

For Zhao Yili's family, this year's autumn harvest is even simpler, because of the fish pond contracted by Zhao's father and Uncle Li, after the excavation is completed, workers are also hired to clean up the fish pond and level the site, and the employees are all from the villagers, so they rushed to catch up with the autumn harvest before everyone's autumn harvest, and the autumn grain of the Zhao family, the Li family and another family in the cooperative group were harvested.

Zhao Yili, who had nothing to do, was bored at home, thinking to himself, what was Xiangning doing at this time?

Suddenly, there was a burst of horns from the car horn outside the door, I thought it was a passing car, and I didn't take care of it, I didn't think that the horn sounded several times in succession, it seemed that it was coming to my own house, so Zhao Yili put on his clothes and went out to take a look.

Unexpectedly, at the gate, there were two people standing, carrying large bags of things in their hands, and they seemed to be a little too much.

Zhao Yili took a closer look, but it was Xiangning with a person who looked like a driver, standing next to the car prettyly, jumping to greet himself!

While walking over quickly to open the door, he suspected that this was too accurate, and he just muttered Xiangning in his heart, how could he say that Cao Cao Cao had arrived?

Although she thought so, her face was like a flower, and she hurriedly took the things in her hand, and said politely: "Hey? Xiangning, why are you here? How embarrassing is this, how bad it is to bring gifts when you come to the door..."

"I just want to go out for a walk during the holidays, I arrived in the county seat last night, and I followed the address you gave me early this morning to find it, thinking that I would come to you to surprise you, why don't you welcome it?" said that her hands were stuck at the waist, today she specially wore a National Day red, red woolen skirt, very decent, I don't know if it was intentional or not, but also straightened her chest, gradually developing body, there are obvious furrows on the chest, Zhao Yili was embarrassed and hurriedly moved his eyes away, only to listen to Xiang Ning said, is this dress good-looking, I designed it myself! Zhao Yili had some rough understanding of clothing in his mind, where did he know what clothing design, even praised the good looks, politely, welcomed the two people into the house, poured hot water, Xiang Ning At this time, he introduced the driver to Zhao Yili to know, it turned out to be the driver of the county armed forces department, called Wang Dawei, Zhao Yili naturally understood in his heart, it seems that Xiang Ning's family seems to have deep connections in the military and political circles, otherwise it will be difficult to transfer the car driver of the county armed forces department during the holiday, and send it here. And Wang Dawei doesn't seem to talk much, basically a listener.

After a brief greeting, Xiang Ning visited the Zhao family's farmhouse with great interest, Zhao Yili was naturally well-informed, and he didn't feel inferior because of the four walls of the family, he just rubbed his hands and said with a smile, "The eldest lady is coming to the cold house, do I have to say that this is full of flowers!" “

"That's for sure, but this house of yours is also quite interesting, the room is also decently furnished, it doesn't matter if the family is poor, you can soar sooner or later, I am optimistic about you, boy!" said with an old-fashioned look, and patted Zhao Yili on the shoulder.

After the two chatted for a while, Xiang Ning asked Zhao Yili's family, these items that everyone brought were specially bought as gifts in Yanjing, since Xiang Ning wanted to make Zhao Yili's friend, he naturally had to care about his family, so it could be regarded as loving the house and Wu.

Today, my father went to the construction site, and my mother took my sister Xiaoke to the market, for a long period of several decades, Zhao Yili's township, there is a market every Wednesday, and there will be small vendors from all walks of life in the market, selling all kinds of goods, and rural people will definitely go to the market in their spare time, some need to buy some necessities such as firewood, rice, oil and salt, and some are simply for hanging out, which is more interesting than staying at home.

Originally, Zhao's mother Xu Lan was going to take Zhao Yili and her sister to visit the market together, but Zhao Yili was really tired, and she overslept and missed the bus that runs every morning and evening.

Now that Xiangning came, there was nothing to visit in the countryside at this time, so he asked Xiangning if there was anything she wanted to play and see, Xiangning thought about it and said, "Or, let's go to the market too?" Zhao Yi thought about it and thought it was a good idea, so the three of them got into the car and went straight to the town.

Beihu Town, with a population of 40,000, covers an area of about 440 square kilometers. 16 administrative villages, has been farming as the main source of economy, there is no special characteristic economy, but a few years later, the ordinary town in the county, but by virtue of the highest peak located in the highest peak - Nanlou Mountain, Asia's largest ski resort has become a well-known rich township, after the ski resort construction occupies an area, at the foot of Nanlou Mountain, more than 120 farmers, every family has become a millionaire, this is a later story, another ten years, the news is exposed, in the second highest peak in the territory of the Wulao Peak in the mountain, found rich reserves of copper ore, So many years later, the town has become completely rich, which is of course an afterthought, and now it is just an ordinary town with a population of more than 40,000.

When the car arrived at the center of the town and parked the car, Xiang Ning asked the driver Brother Wang to wait in the car, and he and Zhao Yili went to the market, when the two of them came to the market, it was the time when the people in the market were most concentrated, and Xiang Ning seemed to have never seen a similar scene, and Zhao Yili bargained in front of various vendors along the way, picked up this and put down that, and had a lot of fun, seeing Xiang Ning so interested, Zhao Yili himself let go.

After shopping for a while, the two of them passed in front of a stall selling wooden combs, Xiangning lingered for a long time, looked at several combs, put down that, picked up this, Zhao Yili saw that he also understood a little in his heart, so he paid the bill, and bought the one that Xiangning had seen for a long time, Xiangning was naturally very happy to get this comb, and when he was about to thank Zhao Yili, suddenly the crowd behind him surged, and the two people were scattered at once, following the tide of the crowd and looking over, there seemed to be thousands of people gathered not far in front, and it was very lively, In order to prevent them from being separated again, Zhao Yili decisively grabbed Xiang Ning's little hand and protected her behind him, and at this time Xiang Ning didn't particularly care, he still squeezed forward with great interest into the crowd, and after holding Xiang Ning, Zhao Yili said with a smile: "I said Xiang Ning, you eldest lady, my childhood seems to be very monotonous, haven't you ever seen the lottery of scratch cards on the spot?" “

Xiang Ningcai, who understood it, sighed, stopped, and when he came back to his senses, he realized that the two of them were still holding hands, standing together, looking at each other, both of them were a little sweet in their hearts, and they were a little reluctant to let go. After a while, Zhao Yili asked in a low voice: "Xiangning, I always have a question I want to ask you, I don't know if it's convenient?" “

Xiang Ning passed through the crowd just now, her face was red, she was very good-looking, and said generously: "You ask, the little woman knows everything." “

Zhao Yi thought for a moment and asked, "What's your last name?" Can't tell me? “

Xiang Ning was stunned for a long time, looked at Zhao Yili with a twisted face, and suddenly laughed: "What's inconvenient about this, my surname is Chen, and this can't be considered a secret, you just haven't asked me." “

Chen Xiangning said it very easily, but Zhao Yili's heart was flooded with monstrous waves. It turns out that I don't know how many senior leaders there are in the party at present, but if we talk about the top giants, they are the top leaders of the party, government and military who often appear in the news network every night, and there is often the figure of Chen Ting, the second head of the military. And Chen Xiangning, could it be the direct family of the Chen family?
